Google Home Max and Google Home Mini smart speakers are official

"It's durable and soft, but also transparent enough to let through light and sound".

The speaker includes the same voice-activated personal assistant, called Google Assistant, as the company's other smart speakers, the Home and newly-announced Home Mini.

Google claims the new speaker, which comes in chalk and charcoal finishes, is 20 times more powerful than the standard Google Home. It's the company's AmazonEcho competitor (Apple's Siri-powered HomePod is also coming soon) - and today, Google unveiled the new circular Home Mini, which is about the size of teacup saucer.

Both the Google Home Mini and the Google Home Max come with the Google Assistant as you'd expect, and the exact same AI feature set as the original Home. The Google Home Max will be available in the U.S. in December in Chalk and Charcoal color options for USA $399, which includes one-year subscription to Youtube Red with ad-free Youtube Music. The ability to use Google Home devices as a speakerphone is coming to the United Kingdom later this week, and users will be able to associate their Google Home with their mobile phone number for caller ID. Google says over 1,000 smart home products now work with Assistant. The HomePod comes with a 4-inch subwoofer and 7 tweeters.

Max has the inventively named smart sound, which is exactly how it sounds. The device will be up for sale in December with a price tag of $399. Hence, consumers will be able to use Google Home as a speaker phone and link their mobile phone number for caller ID with Google Home. The device supports 3.5mm audio jack as well. Google will offer 12 months of ad-free YouTube music subscription with the purchase of the Home Max. Thanks to remote space microphone found in Google home Max, user does not have a problem with hearing about Google home Max no matter where.

It is now available for pre-orders starting today with shipping to commence on October 19th. It's available in three colors: Coral, Chalk, and Charcoal.

Elsewhere, Google Home is also getting a rather nifty feature in the form of hands-free calling.
